Paid Obamacare Enrollment Data Likely Not Released Until February

The Obama administration has come under fire for weeks now for selectively releasing "enrollment" data for Healthcare.gov and the state exchanges. The latest figure of 2.1 million was met with skepticism by many observers, even some who are sympathetic to the administration. However, based on previously published guidance for insurers by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), it is likely any data the administration has on paid enrollments is substantially incomplete.
